It’s been a while since Google officially launched Drive, its answer to OneDrive, Dropbox and the like. This means that it will take you less time to organize your files and therefore you will probably be more willing to do it before your Drive looks like an overloaded storage “room”. When previewing files, there’s a new button that allows you to save that document or photo straight to My Drive. However, you still need to organize that massive amount of data somehow.

As is the case with all of Google’s services and features, Google Drive is one which receives a very frequent level of updating with improvements, new features and so on. Of course, the difference is that you can store a lot more information and files on Drive than you could ever do on your desktop. You can use this to pop files into whatever folder you’d like. As an old man, I’ve essentially said, “That’s enough, Drive will be my choice for all my storage and sharing needs”, this in spite of the fact that I truly prefer a number of the aforementioned options to Drive and others not mentioned. And even on your search results section, you can drag and drop the files to whichever folder you want to move them in. When users are browsing files that are shared with them but not mirrored in their Google Drive account, they’ll see an “Add to Drive” button.
You’ll see an “Add to My Drive” icon in the toolbar instead of the “Move” symbol if you’re looking through files that have been shared with you in Drive.

The changes made by the Google Drive team are little baby steps and nothing huge. The latest of which has been announced today to be rolling out to the web version.
